Can you help? There's no centralised script archive of Scotland's stage translators' staged works 1974-now, but support from SSP & @edmorgantrust.bsky.social is helping me change that. Any detail might be useful! 🙏 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I have already managed to research details for around 100 plays in translation by Scotand's amazing translators/translation writers that were professionally staged, but some of the research details are partial so help hugely appreciated. Any detail (or script🙏) is invaluable towards this archiving!
